Reaching Morocco by sea
The ferry remains the most practical way to reach Morocco with your car, motorhome or luggage. Crossings range from the Strait of Gibraltar, which takes an hour to two hours, to the long routes from France or Italy, which last more than a day with cabins and catering on board.
Departures are from France (Sète, Marseille), Italy (Genoa, and Civitavecchia in summer) and Spain (Barcelona, Algeciras, Tarifa, Almería, Motril), as well as from Gibraltar. On the Moroccan side, ferries arrive at Tangier Med, Tangier Ville, Nador and Al Hoceima.
